What this skill does
Kubernetes Deployment Workflow Overview Specialized workflow for deploying applications to Kubernetes including container orchestration, Helm charts, service mesh configuration, and production-ready K8s patterns. When to Use This Workflow Use this workflow when: Deploying to Kubernetes Creating Helm charts Configuring service mesh Setting up K8s networking Implementing K8s security Target and evidence Select only phases needed for the requested change. Confirm cluster/context, namespace, ownership, API/CRD versions and deployment/cost authorization before registry pushes or cluster writes. Prepare a reviewed immutable image and rendered manifests, validate schema/policy and diff the exact target, then use a tested rollout and rollback strategy. A valid manifest is not a healthy deployment; verify readiness, application flows, metrics and data-migration compatibility. Store secrets through the actual protected platform mechanism, not committed plaintext YAML.
